Banquet
Orchid Feb 2023
Love unknown
To the strongest of hearts
He told me “ I love you”
Then death did us part

No longer in body
But mind inspirited
I’ve lived long enough
To dine with the privileged

"My deranged indulgence
Take me away
Back to the jail I sat
waiting,
on Mother's Day."

The Poet
Orchid Apr 2021
Nonsensical in speech
but with deeper understanding
you can follow my words
rise to the poet panting

For he stands and sits
upon those emblem crowns
gives emotion to listeners
adorned in silk gowns

Everlasting
Orchid Feb 2022
A lot of it scares me.
Not much the wrinkles or the grey.
But the anticipation, the knowing,
I will one day fade away.

Be but a sad name to whisper
A lost statistic, cold.
But in my poems I'm immortal
So onto these words
I hold.

Axiom
Orchid May 2020
I know my heart is all you have
But we forget about my pride
My heart is a gelid stone
Holding a reckless divide

If you were to throttle me
My dear you should be so kind
Because "True Love's Kiss"
Is the Devil's tongue in disguise

Honey
Orchid Apr 2021
It doesn't take much,
I wish it would take more
To get me hooked on your presence
Craving you more and more
My beating heart is easy
My legs not so much
But you've captured my mind
Where many cannot touch
I have felt love before
The pitiful, serpent kind
But something pure lies in-between
Your tongue and doe eyes
I feel sick with a yearn
To hold you, to feel
That vexing sweet smile
Absorb in the depths of teal
I've never felt such hate
For a man I so desire
But your words, oceanic
Soothe my volcanic fires
One moment I smoke fear
The other I am subdued
Waiting for your response
I shine a crimson hue
It is pain and tiresome
But what can I do?
I'm addicted and sick
To you and only you.
It's a game I never wished to play, but I have taken my seat at the table.
I guess it's time to roll the dice.

Marianne
Orchid May 2024
I want so many things
Yet those things are unknown

“Simply, I am not the woman I’d convinced myself I was.
And,
I live in fear
That my core is the very essence of what I despise in others”

"A jar of honey has never hurt anyone"




                                                         …                                                  




                                                                          Tell that to the guy who's
                                                                      manhood got stuck in one.

At this point I'd rather be stabbed
Watch the blood drain out of myself
Than sit here and yearn for someone
Who so clearly loves somebody else.

Home

The saddest thing is missing home, when you didn’t even have one

I’d reside in my friends smiles, now nothing, they’re gone.

Cherry Tart
Orchid Jun 2020
Spent days of rebellion on the shore
Coaxing the libidinous village shuckers,
Exiled as a **** on a raft chuckling
"Carpe Diem *******!"

Materfamilias
Orchid Apr 2020
You miss your Mother’s hand
Being wedged between your thighs
Her intoxicating perfume
Labelled Arsenic trichloride

Fighting all your life
Pain began at circumcision
You spent Mother’s day sat
Awaiting visitation in prison

Needles gave a hug filled with warmth
You were deprived
The first time you said “I love you”
Was the time her breath took flight

Cacao

Our love to me, bittersweet,
for making me love you like this I despise.

Is it bad I want my baby to hold the same shine that glazes your eyes?

Paimon
Orchid Aug 2023
A weakness with tweaks
And the mind of a freak
I fear if she was loved
She'd turn the other cheek
So on Christ's behalf, I speak
I live vicariously
And will walk on cracked soil
As water hurts my feet

Sailed
Orchid Aug 2024
If this is how I lose you
Do it quickly, please
I cannot bear the soft silence
Let me ache in peace

If this is how I lose you
Be cruel and unkind
For any pity that you show
Adds years to my demise

If this is how I lose you
I must say goodbye
To you and to the part of me
That loved for the first time

If this is how I lose you
My anger will come
As soon as the fire of grief
Has frozen me numb.

Inflame
Orchid Jan 2020
If it was what your heart desired,
I would ****** the sun from the skies,
Place it inside your arms,
Unbeknownst to my sightless eyes,

I would catch the gleams of the moon,
That bounce off the darkest shadows
Steal the beauty of man
And listen to the wolves harrow,

I would strike a match in a second,
Burn the world in the hottest of fires,
Gather the essence of what was left,
If it was what your heart desired.

Orchid Oct 2020
A young blonde, who's face more evident than her heart  
She'd cerulean eyes and the lips of a ****
A beauty for the senses, honey and innocence faded
Leaving her rotting at the core, a ****** up sadist

She was loved yet never returned the feelings to the ******
Stare you dead in the eyes and your nightmare was planned
Pitied all her life, mother wanted circumcision
So she upped and left with her ******* tilted toward fiction

Spent her days in a wine cellar, the dungeons were full
Her claws scraped at the walls bathed in grape juice that was mulled,
She'd lay on the floor, compared herself to Siddhartha
Lacerate a bit of skin every hour as a sacrifice to her father

Met the love of her life whilst dancing like a *****,
The sluttiest of the bunch, he yearned for an encore
Mother begged and refused, sensed the evil in her eyes,
She was bought around whilst she was wedged between her thighs.

Coffee
Orchid Jan 2024
What a test the verse may provide
I step my toes into the demise
And I am left with nothing but ache
And a taste for compromise
And God forbid the arise
Of that day you turn to me, sigh,
The day those cacao eyes may cry
And avoid the sight of mine

Sevgi
Orchid May 2020
I fear
If this fire does not tire.
Refrain from burning me whole
...
I will die
Having lost sight of everything
I once stood for
...
A concave grind into nothing
A phoenix
That slept upon ashes
And didn't rise
For it failed to feel something

Spoken words
Orchid Jun 2024
Imperative movements aid the predator's success
It is a Race of Arms
Just as Gods own intent,

Eventually, I'll leave this world in peace I concur
And I will lay in snakeskin
Whilst adorned with fur.

We were fooled by an extrovert's own impropriety
You may call it a lost cause
I call it society.



You may call it fantasy
Yet I shamed it with piety

Diamond
Orchid Jan 2024
God, I know for what I ask is
Repetitive
It tires me yet again,
Sedative
But I ask for this man for life
To adore and
To call him mine

Amore
Orchid Apr 5
Bask in the suns starlight
The sweet solid abyss,
If the crescent is what you wish for
It’s the crescent I shall gift

I know not many words of anger
For silence echos the way
I will pave my footsteps toward you
And pray those steps remain the same

I am lost without your guidance
I grow fearsome of the beckoning light
If I cried you a river would you sail it?
Or watch it gleam at the dark of night.

The Middle Step
Orchid May 2024
I am a good middle step
A solid in-between
Yet this aching has begun
As I get lost in my dreams

I am a good middle step
You may fall onto me
Or I’ll support your rise
Till you get where you need

I am a good middle step
For both lovers and friends
But no one stays
I am no one’s end

I am a good middle step
It was once my desire
I know I chose this
But now, I’m tired

I am a good middle step
And I don’t wish to change
I want someone to sit by me
To select me and stay

A Part of Us
Orchid Oct 2024
I just don’t want to lose him

“My darling I know,
And your love is beautiful as it buds
As it grows
But for every Rose that spouts
From the ground
There’s a million thorns
You must bear
As a crown”

A Dog and his Man
Orchid Sep 2024
All I know is to run
And chase
Lay idle and glum
Invoke pity
In which I am known to succumb
My attention is glazed
To the onlookers hum
Yet where is my friend?
My gold-haired chum

"He's gone"
Unfound
My heart is a drum
Left beaten
I yell amongst the onlookers shun
"He'll return"
I lie
To indulge in the numb
Night rattled my mind
So I'll wait for the sun

Reincarnate
Orchid Apr 4
And if I met my dad before I was born
I would tell him
"Let her go"

"Let her live, smile, be loved"
"Let her be hurt without your touch"
"Let her laugh with others"
"Cry tears with others"
"Let her life be hers to clutch"

I know I won't exist
And I know you will have lost her
But better for me not to breathe
And better for you just to grieve
Than give her the life that cost her

Entirety
Orchid Apr 22
Confliction lives in everything and the battle tires me.
My name is all I hold, until death does us part.

It's a million endings condensed into one being.

I cannot live without regret but that I will regret

Embodied my surroundings I fall a victim to them.
Will I rise a sole individual or fall to the earth having lived everyone's lives but my own?

And then what comes of my existence? Nothing but severance.

I will love with all I am, and for I know not what that is I will gift you everything.

— The End —
